The Windows Software Update Delivery Summary report summarizes the results
of all scheduled Microsoft Software Update policies. It tells you which computers
the software update tasks target, and if the updates have been successfully
installed. The report also tells you if any software update tasks failed, or if they
have not yet completed.
Patch Management Solution for Windows also provides other reports that you
can view.
See "About Patch Management Solution for Windows reports"

Maintenance windows are time periods in which maintenance tasks, including
the installation of software updates, are performed. To ensure Software Update
policies abide by maintenance windows, leave the Override Maintenance Window
Settings check box unchecked in the first page of the Software Update Policy
Wizard. If the box is checked, the Software Update Plug-in ignores maintenance
windows and installs the updates as instructed otherwise by the Software Update
policy.
See "Software Update Policy Wizard pages"
Installing a software update may take longer than a specified maintenance window.
In this case, the installation of the updates completes, but any required restarts
are deferred until the next maintenance window.
This page lets you view, stage, and distribute all software updates that are provided
by software update catalog files.
